Post LED strip lights
So ive got these cheap ebay strip lights to put inside my hull. Well i have a textured hull which is great and all until you try to stick crap to them. I have seen where people just use superglue as a filler/adhesive. Anyone have some tips for mounting? Im sure im not the first to have this problem. Thks for anything yall can throw my way

Gum. Don't overthink it, though. Double sided tape, folded over gorilla or duck tape, or silicone. The clear works good in case you get it over the light, it won't obscure light like the blue marine will.

I have never had silicone stick to anything for very long but the lights are pretty light. I would use 3m double sided tape if the regular glue on the lights won't work

My lights have been stuck with silicone for 10 months now. Still stuck

It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

Rivet in aluminum angle. Stick it to the top section facing down. Gives off a lot of light and comes out very clean
